Amazing venue and staff, food is amazing ?

Piccolino's in Bramhall is one of my favourite restaurants, however I was left very disappointed on Mothers Day. The food was bland, the service was terrible and not one member of staff had a smile the whole afternoon:(

Parking: Nearby have car park.

Took a while for our table to be sorted, booked for 9pm and weren?t sat til 9:30. Waiter took our food order then refused to let us order drinks and said ?he?d be back to take them?. Was a while so we ended up having to ask a member of staff who was walking by. Starter was nice but main (mushroom & tomato pasta) tasted like a microwave meal. Overall seemed very overpriced and overrated, however staff were all very friendly!

PICCOLINO BRAMHALL ? Do not make this your restaurant
?? AVOID ??
If you are seeing this before you go (actually don't go) in, good job. You are wiser than I was. I should have checked reviews first??
?? LIVE CENTIPEDE in Pasta, a disrespectful AGGRESSIVE MANAGER, and THREW UP after limp lettuce??
I ordered Pasta and was half way through eating it AND THEN LIVE CENTIPEDE crawled from underneath the pasta from the middle of the bowl. I WISH I HAD FILMED. My instant reaction was STOP EATING and take it straight to the kitchen.
THIS IS HOW THE RESTAURANT STAFF DEALT WITH IT
??
The chef literally looked deep into my bowl and smiled, said nothing, just a great big smile.
The Manager came over and I explained what happened until he cut me short and started SHOUTING AT ME. He said (shouted) it was not possible to be alive and that it must have fallen from the ceiling. MY JAW WAS ON THE FLOOR. I could hardly get a word in due to him shouting at me and waving his hands around. DISGRACEFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE. The manager continued to SHOUT at me whilst resolving the matter, stating that we can have all meals and drinks for FREE.
??
There was no apology from the manager and just a smile from the chef. Head Office was complained too. It was concluded that the manager did nothing wrong (can?t agree!). I declined an offer of a £100 voucher to spend WITHIN 3 months at one of their restaurants ABSOLUTELY NOT never again. Another member of my party threw up the next day as his salad did look rather limp.
Let?s sum up.
?? WORST restaurant experience ever ?

Fabulous food and excellent service. Our party was looked after so well by the wonderful Francesco.
Kid-friendliness: The staff were fabulous with children, which really makes the experience much better!

Came as a large party for my friends 30th.
Staff was lovely, food was amazing (I never normally have Italian but if I do I'll be coming here, again)
Cocktails are on point ?

In short, they can't cook here. And the service is lacking.
I'm used to decent restaurants as I spend a lot of time in Hong Kong and elsewhere in Asia. This isn't one.
We wanted to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday without venturing into the city centre. I?m not usually a fan of chain restaurants, but with good reviews and a Bramhall location, it seemed promising enough. I?d tried the Hale branch before and expected something adequate, if forgettable. When we arrived early on a midweek evening and found it nearly empty, that should have been a warning sign, but I didn?t take the hint
I ordered a fillet steak, medium well. What arrived was a chewy, bone-dry medallion about half an inch thick, cold, over-salted, and over-cooked. It resembled a shoe sole - small and tough. I strongly suspect it had been frozen.
My wife started with scallops and followed with king prawns. The scallops were hard, and while the prawns weren?t off, they clearly weren?t fresh - almost certainly frozen.
Both kids ordered pizza. The sparse toppings and soggy centres meant the toppings slid off, rendering the pizzas inedible unless you wanted to scoop up the mess with a knife and fork. Once again, not cooked properly
When I mentioned my steak, to their credit, they did offer to make another, but having established already the quality is subpar and they can't cook, what would be the point? They did cough up a few free drinks in an attempt to compensate.
With only three occupied tables and three floor staff, you?d expect attentive service. Instead, they were mostly invisible. I had to pour my own wine and call for plates to be cleared. When we were ready to leave, we?d already retrieved our coats from the cloakroom before anyone appeared.
When the bill arrived, they encouraged us to download an app for 25% off food. Since we had no intention of returning, we wouldn?t normally have bothered, but we used it (with disposable data) to reduce the cost slightly. Even then, it didn?t feel like value for money. We also asked to have the service charge removed, as it wasn?t deserved.
After all that, it came to just forty odd quid per person. And there?s the problem: at that price point, given Bramhall?s overheads, they can?t afford to serve high-quality food or hire skilled chefs. This forces them to cut corners, which leads to a disappointing dining experience. As customers stay away, they resort to further discounts, creating a vicious cycle that only drags them down.
We'd have had a better experience at a Zizzi or a Pizza Express, I'm sure. And that's not saying much. Save your money.
